Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
The correct combination of services to meet the company’s requirements is AWS Transfer Family and Secrets Manager. AWS Transfer Family provides a fully managed SFTP solution that integrates with Amazon S3, while Secrets Manager ensures secure storage and automatic rotation of credentials. These two services together address the need for secure file transfer and credential management in a fully managed and scalable manner.
- A. Correct.
AWS Transfer Family is the ideal managed service for enabling SFTP, FTPS, and FTP access to Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS. It is a fully managed service and fits the use case perfectly.
- B. Incorrect.
Amazon SQS is a managed messaging service used for decoupling distributed systems. It is not relevant to securely transferring files to Amazon S3.
- C. Correct.
Secrets Manager is the appropriate service for securely managing and automatically rotating credentials, which meets the company's requirement for credential management.
- D. Incorrect.
Amazon EC2 is not a managed service and would require additional maintenance and configuration for SFTP, which contradicts the company's requirement for a fully managed solution.
- E. Incorrect.
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service and is not directly relevant to the use case of securely transferring files via SFTP.
